Introduced to widespread acclaim in late in 1964, Ford's Mustang was breaking all sales records by 1967, surpassing the million mark the previous year. Having left the Mustang largely unchanged for the first couple of years production, Ford decided it was time for a revamp in 1967 - driven in part by the appearance on the market of rivals from Chevrolet and Pontiac. The Mustang was available in three body styles, the convertible, notchback coupe and fastback with a wide range of engine and transmission options. The look for 1967 was bigger all round - longer, wider and with more interior space plus revised styling front and rear. Under the hood a big-block V8 was available for the first time, with a 390-cid engine producing 320bhp. The small-block 289ci continued on, with 200bhp C-Code (2-barrel carb), 225bhp A-Code (4-barrel) and 271bhp K-Code tunes.
